Otherwise there is no chance to deploy, but the image can take more than an hour and about 160GB.
Another possibility is to delete the recovery partitions after installing Windows 7 and you may even save and deploy Windows 8 (image size about 10 GB, time for deploy about 10 minutes in gigabit network).

I have several machines of this type and this works well, although I had a lot of problems with HP 8300 first.

Now you need to delete the small recovery partition (101 MB). It’s not possible with “Disk Management”, so

open a “Command Prompt” window ( -> Start -> Accessories), you need to run it as administrator.
Here you can enter the command “diskpart” (see “diskpart> help” for options) to localize the partition you want to delete. Normally it’s disk “0”, so you have to “select disk 0”. Subsequently enter “list partition” for the selected disk and for HP8300 you will see Partition 3 (Recovery) to delete.

Now “Select partition 3”

Deleting by “delete partition” will not work as long as you don’t use: “[COLOR=#339966]delete partition override[/COLOR]”.
[COLOR=#ff0000]BUT BE CAREFUL and INSURE FIRST TO HAVE A BACKUP.[/COLOR]

Check with “list partition” and enter “exit”

Reboot your system and check whether it works and you deleted the proper partition.

After your HP8300 started Windows 7 normally you should be able to upload your image in a way to deploy it later and in FOG you can even select “Single Partition (NTFS Only, Resizable)” now.
